Video games often present some nice math lessons. Trying to understand why the Grief runeword in Diablo 2 did so much more damage than other items that had way bigger numbers was a great exercise in math, lol (and I didn't fully grasp it until my 20's).

Another example is card games, like Hearthstone or Pokémon TCG. For younger kids you can focus on the more basic "how much damage do you need to kill this?" or "given these coin flips, how much damage can you expect on average?", while for the older kids you can present bigger challenges like "how likely are you to start with this card in hand?" or "how likely are you to find it in the first 10 turns?", "how likely is it that this crucial card to your gameplan is going to be hidden in the prize card list?" etc. But perhaps the adult here needs to be good in card games in order to be able to grasp the math behind the game and properly teach kids.

Anyway, math is often hidden behind interesting things, which is way better than boring plain exercises.

The point of a game, which maps the real world to a fictional world, is exactly that. A game like that can't be fair and it shouldn't be, part of the fun is that it isn't.

After all it is just a game, it's not an injustice for a game to not be fair.
For those who are familiar with using the *nix du command, ncdu is like a nice step up. Finding what is using your disk space naturally requires repeatedly descending into directories and checking what is using up most space. So having TUI for it makes a lot of sense.

Thanks for listing it.

Volkov Commander should get an honorable mention here, it is a tiny reimplementation of the NC interface. On the FAR Manager level of complexity DOS Navigator is also notable.
This is not only in the car, but also in the 'Smart' TV market (I am also starting to see it it large appliances, washers, dryers, refrigerators, air conditioners, swimming pool systems). It is is hard to find non-smart TV and they are at premium. 'Smart' TVs, if connected will collect large amount of data. I hear some will piggyback on open connectivity without permission, but I still need to verify this.

(I ran across a pool system that could not be managed without an mobile app, from the pool. That is, the default configuration to turn on jets, lights, and such, a mobile phone had to be nearby to control the functions which required internet connection.)
Agreed, I've used this for a number of years and have been happy with it, very straightforward free service.

End-to-end encryption may be the bane of cops, but can't close Pandora's Box
A mobile device, in most users' hands:

- Stores their security credentials for critical sites (banks, HR/payroll, stores, govt services, etc.)

- Even if not, has unfettered access to their primary email account, which means it can autonomously initiate a password reset for nearly any site

- Is their primary 2FA mechanism, which means it can autonomously confirm a password reset for nearly any site

That's an immense amount of risk, both from apps running on the device, and from the device getting stolen. Both of the measures I mentioned are directly relevant to these kinds of threats. And, as I already said, Android has adopted these same security measures as well.
For me, it was a bit different, and it comes from a perspective that's a blend of cognitive science and computer science:

Complex systems can be created through the composition of simple processes which are easily explained or modeled. Sometimes there are mysterious emergent properties in the overall system, even when we can explain the components. Other times, through investigation / science / engineering, we are finally able to explain the entire system. It might lose a little of the magic or mystery as a result, but the system itself didn't change. Instead our perspective and understanding changed.

On that note, until we can fully explain some of the workings of our own minds, I'm reluctant to write off "just predicting the next token" as an unimportant process. It's one way to explain LLM inference simply, but it doesn't eliminate the importance. It also doesn't account for as-yet unexplained things which may be happening as a part of training.
Treating everyone as if they were engaging in good faith is equally not a good approach to discourse. I get where you're coming from but the system you're proposing creates a situation where it's cheaper to pollute the discourse than the consequences you face for polluting the discourse.
It’s not really a problem, you’d just use blocks of 4 to avoid the issue. Also why do we base districts based on racial breakdown anyway?

Thanks for the advice! I too am surprised by that. The Django version of my site had something similar! The home page showed plants grouped into categories kind of like Netflix. But when I transitioned to react I limited the scope. But I might go back to that!

One other tip - many sites have APIs that will give you their product data. You may need to contact them about getting access. Or it may be publicly available. But that is better than scraping if it is possible.

> complex and unwieldy nature of modern car UI (especially in electric cars)

Honestly, I love the UX and UI of a Tesla.

It automates so many things that I find tedious in other cars: lock/unlock, close windows, pre-heat/cool, auto-set navigation to office in the morning and home in the evening, set seating and other adjustments for the driver based on which phone key was used. Navigation works thanks to the free connectivity (all other in-car gpses I've had to use were useless). Nice screen to select and play music. Voice command works reasonably well for selecting music.

It's not perfect, but I prefer the UX & UI over all ICE cars I've driven before.

As an example: my user journey when starting my drive to the office in the morning is a 2 step process: (1) open door and (2) put in drive.

Especially in the winter that used to be 10+ steps for an ICE car: (1) find key (2) unlock car (3) open car (4) adjust seat because my wife drove before (5) press button to start engine (6) front-window defrost (7) rear window defrost (8) manually scrape the ice off the front window (9) select office in gps (10) release parking brake (11) clutch (12) put in gear.

This is correct. And if you use a headset it won't pick up the general system sounds. Used it for an IEP call last week and found out afterwards the only audio it picked up was my own. Pretty frustrating.
IMO, the big thing holding back customers (especially smaller ones) from going on-premise these days is networking. Getting a fat pipe similar to what you get with an instance on a cloud provider can be prohibitively expensive (internet service, gear, staff, etc), especially when you want it to be highly available.
Honestly, I've had a number of microwaves in my life and I have read the manuals and attempted to use various other types of operation (such as sensor cooking). The reasons why I don't typically use those additional modes of operation are perfectly rational and not due to UI bias as such:

1. I know exactly how to cook something, based on time (and power level), because that's a mental model that's universal across microwaves.

2. I don't know how to cook something and need to follow package directions, which are always expressed as time (and power level).

3. I am iterating towards a desired end state, and want to do so in small step increments. The only possible way to do so is by short bursts of time (at a specified power level).

These are the reasons I've never used any of the extra modes. Technology Connections did an entire hour long video about the popcorn button, and it sounds like at least /some/ microwaves actually implement a very good method, but most don't, and so these types of modes are also generally untrustworthy. Having additional modes has never been a deciding factor in buying a microwave for me, most of the time I bought am microwave based on materials, appearance, and mounting options.

Now, a toaster oven, on the other hand, I want all the modes, and I use them.
I wouldn't call it exactly right "all along", after years of him and the Rails team jumping bandwagons and having Prototype, Scriptaculous, jQuery, CoffeeScript, SASS, Sprockets with Babel, Webpack and then whatever is there now shipping as defaults in Rails, along with lots of other stuff.

Sensors in the car + normal traffic pattern analysis based on where you go. The sensors in the car have been capable of identifying a person by their fingerprint for a long time, and I have to imagine that has only improved.

I remember a discussion about using these identity fingerprints to automatically adjust settings to the person sitting in a seat, but it was deemed too creepy at the time.

I'm fortunate to live in a state with a decent privacy law. I think my strategy will look more like:

- Find a car with the least bad policies, then

- File a CCPA demand that they show me all the information they collect about me, that they delete it all, that I refuse to allow them to share it with anyone else, and that they limit how they use my data.

If you live in California, here's what the law requires basically all car companies (i.e. all with more than $25M gross revenue) to do up on your request: https://oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa

I wish all people living in jurisdictions with laws like this would file individual requests, making it more expensive to process opt-out requests than they profit from the rest.

It’s a personal decision. There are so many Pokémon that hacking is a long and tedious process. You might as well download saves but them you’re not playing the game. I think it’s fun catching real Pokémon fairly but don’t mind if people hack.
It is easy to cherry-pick examples that go in either direction. For example, try to photocopy a dollar bill and see what happens.

I wish there were more of these for artists who specifically need GPU rendering for their own animations and heavy duty production. It seems like all of this new infrastructure isn't going towards "classic" GPU use cases.
Then you got my gist:

That's how I feel about this Dennett tale.

Why did he choose this idiom, why does his thesis seem to betray premise? The thesis being there's no me there, the premise being the narrative authority of the tale. Someome told the story.

To my reading, Dennett id clearly is capable of comprehending the irony of his position, so the tale as a whole is a sort of sound of one hand clapping (which can be done by many people by beating their fingers against the palm of the same hand). Dennet may be attempted to use pointed obfuscation to reveal to the reader that the man who determines he is no one is still someone.

But Dennett himself appears to treads indelicately on the edge of becoming a god or oracle of his own purvey. He welcomes me to his domain while at the same time distancing himself from the human commons. I read his posture as cultish.

From here I ask myself, as a cultist, what is Dennett's orthodoxy? Techno-feudalism? Transhumanism?

If the job of the philosopher is to form questions, why are the questions he's begging so debasing of a commonsense status of the individual and substitution of the corporate?

I can't figure it out, but I don't want to follow it on Dennett's own terms, so I offered some alternatives that work better for me.

Thanks for taking a moment to reply to my post.

Not throwing shade on Blackhole. You can accomplish a lot with it. And yes, technically, it can do most if not all of what Loopback does. I just like the experience of using Loopback more than having to use the built-in MIDI setup in macOS, which I always find a bit confusing.

Oh, actually, now I remember why I bought Loopback in the first place. I couldn't figure out how to map a single stereo input channel to both left and right channels with Blackhole, but Loopback makes that very easy. Maybe it's possible to do with Blackhole, but I'll happily pay to not feel like a confused old man when all I want to do is record audio the way I expect.

In the case of Audio Hijack, one might as well save the money and go with Blackhole instead of Loopback.

And in any case, as much as I normally embrace FOSS, Rogue Amoeba makes high quality software that's worth paying for, so I'm not champing at the bit to replace them.
I avoided making a claim regarding the relative "security level" of Android vs. iOS because it's not easy to precisely define what that means. All I was saying was that Android's security model explicitly accommodates openness. If your standard for a "strong" security model excludes openness entirely, that's fair I suppose, but I personally find it unacceptable. Supposing we keep openness as a factor for its own sake, I'm not sure how you can improve much on Android's model.

This discussion seems to be headed in an ideological direction rather than a technical one, and I'm not very interested in that.
Tires aren't 80% of microplastics pollution, that's a misreporting of the study. They're 80% of the category that includes tires, that whole category is only 11% of microplastics.

I had a similar concern about a custom monitoring script that was regularly writing out a metrics file in Prometheus format to be picked up by the Prometheus node monitor. What if the script breaks?

So I set the script to also write out a metric that was just the time stamp the metrics were last updated. Then it was simple to set up an alert in Prometheus - I can't access the config now so you'll have to look it up yourself, but it was basically "alert if metric less than now minus a time gap"

This seems almost deceptive. Given how corrupt US medical is, it makes me think any sort of 'automation bad' is just the various special interest groups holding onto power a little while longer.

You know the Physician cartel is going to find some nonsensical reasoning to be anti-LLM even when LLMs will diagnose correctly more often.

When every other industry is finding uses, 'medical can't, its too hard', is going to be a normal line from the industry that still uses Faxes.
